GOFF, of Pleasant Valley, Wis, who was
elected town treasurer and who, in spite of
vigorous opposition on the part of the male
ofce-hOlders, has Just secured her position.
The men who ungallantly opposed her
should be boycotted by every fair woman in
the town.
HoN. WILLIAM WINDOW, whom some Min

money since he got out of politics, and yet
a great many men make money in politics,
though less creditably than the way Hon.
WILLIAM is now making it.
We ARE pleased to welcome President

EMPEROR WILLIAM and Emperor FRANCIS
JOSEPH are having very cheerful sort of
time of it together, not unlike the kind of a
time when two governors in this country
meet to exchange courtesies, except that the
glasses are larger.
THE one object of Senator RIDDLEBERGER's
life is to prevent the election of MAHOSE to

Mrs. CLEVELAND is having a good time in
Massachusetts and we are glad of it. 1t will
serve excellently by comparison to show her
how much more she is enjoying herself when
she reaches st. Paul.

"AS YOU LIKE IT."
Played in the Open Air By a Com
pany OF Stars.

Special to the Globe.
MANCHESTER Blythe SEA, Mass,
Aug. S.-A unique and beautiful per-
formance of Gas You Like It," was
given in pastoral style this afternoon
on the lawn of the MaSconomO house.
The stage was set in genuine instead of
limitation trees, shrubs and rocks, ap-
propriate to the sylvan character of the
plaV. The audience viewed the scene
from large open tent. Much of the
spectators were members of the drama
tic profession, some coming in two
tally-hoS from Boston and NantaSket
Beach, others by train and various We
hicles from the summer resorts here
abouts. Agnes Beeth Schaeffel began
the entertainment ny reciting a prologue
composed by W. L, Ball. The cast of
the play was as follows:

and the MendelssOhn male quartette.
The acting was superb, the play
ers seeming inspired to do their
best by the loveliness and fit
tingness of the surroundings. Miss
Coghlan won great applause
and the efforts of all were well appre-
ciated. A grand orchestra of twenty
five pieces rendered selections before
and after the play and between the acts.
Manager A. NJ. Palmer and his assist
ants, j. B. Schoenful and Geo. w.
Floyd, and Stage Manager w. Sey-
mour were warmly congratulated upon
the success of the arrangements.
About 3d. 800 was netted by the perform
ance for the actors benefit fund. A
banquet this evening formed an enjoya-
able addition to the evenings entertain
ment.

THAT FISHERIES DISPUTE.

The fisheries trouble is bObbing up
again. There has already been enough
diplomatic fOOlishness in this business.
The few fish in the Eastern waters are
hardly of value enough to go to war
about. At the same time the Canadian
authorities should be made to under
stand that the United States is nation
with big n and is not to be trifled with.
If, as stated, the British war ships now
in Canadian waters are authorized to
take hand in settling this dispute then
the sooner Secretary WHITNEY gets his
feet rugged out with the new HOtchkiSS
guns the better it will be. This gov
ernment may be coaXed into peaceable
settlement of the fisheries dispute, but
it is not to be bullied into it. Our neigh
bors over the border must remember
that the spirit of ANDREW JACKSON
still fingers Oh this side of the line, and
that this country is under Democratic
administration. Memory of the battle
of New Orleans has not altogether
perished from the earth.

How many old boilers eaten out by

How many. N rather VIC should ask
how few Of these machines have been

Indeed, can it not be safely asserted
that many Of them have never been
tested or inspected since they left their

used season after season, and between
seasons stood out through rain and
shine, uncarcd for and unprotected.
Steam, like alcohol, IS an excellent
servant, but a bad master, and every
appliance or boiler in which il is gen
Grated, should be subjected periodic
cally to rigid and searching test. This
test should be mads compulsory by
law, and should be applied by a sworn

CHICAGo, July 11.--At the National
Convention of the Womans Christian
Temperance Union at Lake Bluff ycster-
day Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, gave
some interesting details of what prohibi-
ton has done and is doing in the South.
In the II Southern states, he said. there
were fewer saloons to the population than
in any other dozen states, hot excepting
Maine and Kansas. Local option has
been adopted in Georgia aud Alabama,
and prohibition was success every
where.

COTTON VICTORIOUS.

Although the "Rosses' by their usual
methods succeeded in carrying sixteen
out of twenty of the wards in Baltimore
on Wednesday, one very bitter drop in
the victor's cup, is the personal triumph
Mr.. Cotton has won by beating their
combined forces, in his ward, in a con-
test for the Legislature. In the canvas
inst closed. Mr.. Cotton has made a
number of disclosures not in any sense
palitable to his Cp?one' IS, and his sue
cess is doubly unwelcome to them.
The Baltimore .lmvICal in reporting
the result Of the contest on Wednesday
says:
The happiest man III Baltimore last
night was George Cotton, and well he
might be, as he fought the greatest bat
tie and gained the greatest battle OF his
life. 1t seemed as if the combined
forces of the bosses were arrayed against
HIM, yet he beat them all, and distanced
his competitor by 2o5 majority. The
scene at Mr.. Colton's residence almost
baftied description when the returns
were carried to him. His parlor was
filled with fair ladies', who gathered
around him, almost smothering him
with kisses, and the old men and young
men took him in their arms, both at
his dwelling and the Crescent Club,
and carried him several times AROUND
the building.
Mr.. Cotton was seen by reporter,
and seemed as calm and placid as a
lake. When asked about the matter
he said his only regret was the conduct
of the police-not Marshall Frey, for,
although he may not be his friend, yet
he did everything in his power to have
a far election. But it grieved him very
much, he said, to see officers that he
had himself twice promoted against the
wishes of friends, and others whose Of
fences he had condoned, turn their backs
upon him when it was their sworn duty
to treat him fairly. The shoutings and
congratulations were continued until a
late hour, and one OF the most interest
ing features of the occasion was the
presentation to him by one of his par
ticular friends of beautiful silk banner,
with the following inscription, in gold
letters, upon blue ground

became involved III Il discussion last
night on the porch Of the Hartford House,

seems that Preston accused Plowmau Of
making SOME remarks not compliment

strong language, denounced the acousa-
tiOn as lie. Preston asked him if he
meant that he was a liar, to which Plow

ELKTON, JULY %, 1887.

rOUBTLESS the ladies who compose
the W. c. T. L. of Cecil county have
like their sisters generally under similar
circumstances been frequently in doubt
as to the proper manner OF addressing
the presiding officer of their public
conventions and assemblies, whether
by the term "Nlrs." President, "Miss"
President or "Madam" President. This
was particularly so in cases in which
the presiding officer was an unmarried
lady, the expression "Miss President"
being certainly unpleasing, not to say
inappropriate, while on the other hand
the official designation "Mrs. President"
seemed equally unsuitable when applied
to a single woman. The adoption OF
the third designation MADAM" seemed
the only reasonable and ready way out
of the difficulty, and after discussing
the matter at the session Of the Wo
mans Christian Temperance Union, at
Lake Bluff, near Chicago, it was de-
cided in Committee of the Whole that
MADAM President" was the proper
expression, and not "Miss" or "Mrs.
President" The reasons were many
first, because there is no need of desig-
mating a presiding officer by word
which denotes her home relationships !;
she is an individual, first Of all, and not,
FIRST of all, to be classified by her rela-
ton to some man, and, secondly, the
word Madam" is far more euphonious
and dignitled than the Kissing, issuing
sound of Miss or Mrs. So our fair
sisters have at least one parliamentary
stumbling block out of their way.

THE MILITARY MIDDLE:

There is to be national COMPETE
tive drill in Washington City the lat
ter part of May, and military compa-
MES throughout the country were in
vited to take part. Companies from
Southern as we'll as Northern States
have entered. Some of the Georgia
companies, learning that colored COM
panies from Virginia and Washington
had been admitted withdrew, and their
action is now causing much newspaper
talk. We are sorry to see such a
spirit manifested by one of the lead
ing Southern States. Why, the Gov
ernor of Virginia, the nephew of the
gallant Lee, has assigned these same
colored troops to place in the cere-7
monies at the laying of the corner
stone of the late Confederacy. And
suppose our country should get into a
little spat with some foreign power
that should appear to be too much for
our magnificent navy and our extern
sive army, would these same Geor-
gians refuse to take up arms in de-
Tense of their country because VIC have
black troops? Strange that these
Georgians have been sending repre-
sentatives to Congress, unless they
were careful always to send men who
were color-blind. Some one said
there are Negroes in the Georgia Leg
islature, but that must have been only
newspaper talk. Georgia is solid on
one thing, though-shey allow no
Negroes to ride in first.class cars.
